"SAS is NOT a portal. Although we will be using a new and powerful portal to access the six elements of SAS and all the resources that will be launched and will be added to the site, SAS is more about how we think and act differently. The six elements of SAS (clear standards, fair assessments, a curriculum framework, instructional strategies, materials & resources and interventions), when combined, provide educators with a common framework for the continuous improvement of each student by name. Research continues to support that integrating these six elements improves student achievement."
This is an incredibly helpful whitepaper fleshing out the roles and expectations districts should have for Technology Coordinators and Directors. It would be helpful for both employers as well as job-seekers. This paper was presented at the Annual Meeting of the Pennsylvania Association of School Administrators/Pennsylvaina School Board Association (PASA-PSBA) School Leadership Conference, Hershey, PA October 25-28, 2005.
